DURING January the Melbourne ves sel “Mernoo” was chartered by the Pacific Cable Board to repair a fault in the branch submarine cable between Norfolk Island and Fiji. In charge of the work was Mr. P, F. Bundle, who has had many years of experience on the cable steamer “Recorder”, now working at Singapore. The fault in the cable was located about three miles out of Buncombe Bay (in the North- West corner of N. 1.) and was -soon mended.
Miss P. Rowe, 8.A., of St. Mary’s School, Labasa, arrived in Sydney from Fiji in January on furlough.
